Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process described involves the purchasing of Salesforce Technical Support Services by Education Scotland, which acts as the contracting authority. The contract falls under the education industry category and is situated in Livingston, UK. This procurement has reached the award stage, with Education Scotland selecting Computacenter (UK) Limited as the supplier. The procurement method used was limited, specifically an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, leveraging the SVARS Framework Call-off. The total contract value is £268,741, with the contract signed on 20th January 2026.

This tender presents significant opportunities for large companies capable of providing specialised technical support services, particularly those with expertise in Salesforce platforms. The procurement, which follows a limited process, emphasises the need for suppliers already recognised within established frameworks. Businesses that can offer comprehensive technical solutions and have the capability to manage substantial contracts with subcontracting options, as demonstrated by Computacenter's successful bid, are best suited to compete in similar procurements.
